Shaun has been commissioned to write adaptations of three classic Hammer films. As reported on thebookseller.com:
"Gillian Holmes has acquired 3 books by Shaun Hutson for Hammer. Shaun will be putting his own unique twist on three of Hammer's classic films, starting with Twins of Evil.
Holmes said, 'If ever there was an author who embodies Hammer, it is Shaun Hutson; his flair for the dramatic, the macabre and the bloodthirsty are second to none, and he is a fabulous author to have on the list. I am thrilled to be working with him.'
Simon Oakes, CEO and President of Hammer Films said, 'I'm hugely excited that Shaun will be joining the Hammer list; he has a true passion for all things Hammer, and I can think of no one better to do justice to some of the classic films.'
Hutson said, 'Hammer have always been a great source of pleasure to me as a film fan and a tremendous influence on me as an author. If you wanted shocks, tension and power you knew Hammer were always going to deliver. These books will be the same.'
Holmes acquired World rights from Brie Burkeman at Burkeman & Clarke Ltd, and Hammer will publish as a paperback original in October this year."
